Nearly a week had passed since Alcuin had added Daniel Jackson's name to the drawing he'd pinned up on the wall in his house. He'd named it in his head the Tree of Loss, and tried to think of it now as a sort of memorial. But it was the worst sort of irony that it wasn't very long ago at all that Alcuin had confessed his fear that Daniel, as one

"Hey Alcuin, whatcha working on?" Xander asked as he came into the kitchen, obviously fresh from the shower. He'd been working with the building crew all morning so a shower had definitely been needed.

If he had been affected by the night with Alcuin and Helen, he wasn't showing it. There had been a lot of emotion that night, and not just in the bedroom. Between Alcuin's nightmare and Helen's early morning confessions, Xander hadn't quite known what to expect, but he found that nothing had really changed. Alcuin was still a dear friend...who he'd slept with and never would again. And that a okay with him!

Xander smiled at him before he turned to open the fridge and get out a container of juice. "Getting a jump on your classes?"

Alcuin too had wondered if things would be strange between them after all that had happened, but he was glad that it did not seem to be the case. His own feelings about that night he simply pushed to the side.

"Something like that," he admitted, looking up from his books. "I've been taken on by a scientist as something of an... apprentice. I'm not entirely certain what that entails yet, but I am eager to learn from him." He held up the book, the author noted as Nikola Tesla.

Xander glanced at the book but he didn't recognize the same so Alcuin just got a blank look in return. But he shrugged as he poured some juice and returned it before coming to join him at the table. "That's great Alcuin! But I'd be careful. When I needed extra help in school from Guy, I had to do some unsavory things." He grinned to show he was joking, even if it had been true. And it hadn't been unsavory either, not that he would do it now.

Except the usual lap dances at the club of course.

Alcuin smiled at that. "I can think of worse people whose mercy one could be at."

"Oh believe me, so can I." Xander said, laughing despite himself. "Still, you never know with those academic types."
